Connection icon disappears

When I connect to the Internet via dial-up, the
connection icon doesn't appear in the system tray. I
thought I'd create a shortcut on the desktop to the dun
icon, but there is no "network connections" control panel
(this is XP Home edition). So I can't disconnect from
the Internet without quitting the application that caused
it to dial. Anyone know why?
